• SQL Server Repeate group values in Matrix

  Hi, I am using matrix to make a report. I have company name in the row group and user name in the details field. When I run the report I only see the company name once and each user of that company is displayed in a separate row. Then next company name and its users... I wanted to know if there is a way to display company name next to the user name I know it can be done by using "table" but I can't use table because in this report there are other fields can only be done in a matrix. So, please let me know if there are any settings in matrix which I can use to display my company name next to each user of that company. Please ask me any thing if the question is not clear. Thanks a lot for the help. -Rohit ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Grey subfolders in Team Explorer

  What does this mean that some of subfolders are greyed out in Version Control tree in Team Explorer But they are OK - I dodn't touch them - I can check in and out and everything... The only thing I've noticed - the mapping in workspace was wrong - subfolders were mapped and upper folder not. Strange... I fixed that and folders appeared in black. Those workspaces are overengineered... ...Show All

• SQL Server Parameters in Function in OLE DB Source

  Hi there! I need to use some parameters in an OLE DB Source like that: select * from mdm.mdm_pos_hierarchies where dbo.fkt_get_guelt_von (posh_valid_fr) <= dbo.fkt_get_guelt_von ( ) and dbo.fkt_get_guelt_bis (posh_valid_to) >= dbo.fkt_get_guelt_bis ( ) The function returns a valid datetime. These parameters normaly works fine, but not with use as funtion-paramerters. I get feeble error messages (by trying to map the parameters) like that: "Falsche Syntax in der Nahe von ')'. (Microsoft SQL Native Client)" - what means "Wrong syntax near ')'" and says nothing. If i replace the parameters with the mapped value (i.E. '200601') it works fine. What is the reason for that It there any solution or a workar ...Show All

• SQL Server Reset a database

  Hi, I have red this thread while I was searching an answer to my problem. Basically when you develop an app. you do some testing to check if everything is fine. When the testing is done you have primary key seeds starting from a number x which is not 1, as it is when the db is newly created. I read about the truncate instruction (which I knew from mysql) but I can't perform the query because of the presence of a foreign key constraint in another table. So I thought, maybe there is a way to tell the DB engine to disable FK checks while I do the truncation, but I can't find it in the documentation. So the question is: using SQL EXPRESS what is the quickest way to reset the db state to its initial state, where all the primary key seeds were ...Show All

• Visual Basic datetimepicker control

  Here is my dillema, I am trying to create a function with a button to open a hidden datetimepicker, once the date has been selected then hide it again. I have no problem opening the picker from the button, but once date has been selected the textbox still appears. I have tried numerous ideas and think it is time to ask the panel to see if anyone has tried to do this before or knows the commands to do this. Thanks for your time Greg Hi Greg It's a little hard to completely grasp what you are trying to do, so apologies if the enclosed proves irrelevant.

• Visual C++ VC++ 2005 redistributable

  Hi, I'm trying to get an MFC application compiled with VC++ 2005 to run on a machine with VC++ 2005 express. There seems to be a problem with the manifest (which I don't fully understand despite reading the info on msdn). The original error in the event log when I tried to run it said Microsoft.VC80.CRT not installed so I installed the platform SDK and also copied over the atlmfc directory from the development to target machine. I also downloaded the VC++ 2005 redistributable and installed it. When I installed it, I didn't get any confirmation that the installation was successful, the installer appears to quit after displaying the progress bar. Is this the correct behaviour Now I no longer get any messages in the event log but when I try ...Show All

• Visual C++ PSDK/calc-sample, please.

  Below is error when I try to build sample project: Calculator. I have VC++ express edition and sample is for that version of C++. I also have PSDK which I wanted to integrate with VC++ express edition by following instructions; but wanted to be sure VC++ express edition is working (which it is not) by using simple sample projects. Thank you very much for any assistance to get this sample project to run/compile. I plan to use VC++ instead of fortran for my research so I and other students/scientists may have a graphical user interface and ease of entering code. Assembly language was no fun but I got thru that. I would be grateful if anyone could point me to sample code to use in VC++ express edition (with PSDK integrated ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Disappearing Image

  I got the following Code from a book which was devoted to 2005 Express. I put an image in the PictureBox(picPic) and can go on to print it. [In this program I have a PrintPreview so saving the actual print.] However! After printing the image disappears from the Form (And I suspect the actual PictureBox as well!). If I use the event to select a different image, this new one doesn't appear on the Form but it shows on the PrintPreview and prints. Can some kind person please tell me why this is happening. I have obviously tried to work it out, but I am baffled! Please let me have the solution. Thanks in advance. AliBong.
